Student Spotlight Hannah Kvitle
Playing with a purpose
UofL senior Hannah Kvitle spent part of
last summer competing in the U.S. Women's
National Senior A2 Program, winning gold
at the Junior National Championships in
Dallas, Texas. While volleyball may be her
passion, her purpose is working with children
with moderate and severe disabilities, which
she does 10–12 hours a week at Churchill
Park School in Louisville.
The education senior said that
somehow she always knew that she'd
spend her life working with special
needs children.
"My uncle had Down Syndrome
and passed away when I was in high
school," Kvitle said. "I've sought to f ll
that void by working with children
with special needs and found educa-
tion was where I could make the most
impact. The best part of game day in
The Ville is looking up in the stands
and seeing these kids cheer me on."
